THE NEW LICENSE ACT.

Following is the full text of an amend
ment to the License Act, which was passed
at the last session of the Legislature, and
approved February l, 1887:
SEC. 70. The County Auditor shall
from time to time deliver to the Sheriff as
many of such licenses as may be required,
and shall sign the same and charge them
to the Sheriff provided, that before sign
ing or delivering any license to Sheriff,
the Auditor shall fill out the license in
full, stating therein to whom said license is
issued, the kind of business authorized to
be carried on under the license, the room,
building and placewhere the business is to be
carried on, the dates when said license be-
gins and expires, and the amount of money
to be paid therefor, and shall at the same
time make entries of the same upon the
stubs in the license book. Whenever any
license is returned, by the Sheriff, unsold,
the Auditor shall cancel and file the license,
and note the fact and date of such cancella-
tion upon the stubs thereof. No Board of
County Commissioners shall audit OF allow
any claim in favor Of Sheriff until there
shall be filed with said Board the certified
statement of the Auditor that all settle
ments required by tne list Section of the
Act of which this is amendatory, have
been made by said Sheriff. The amount
of all licenses issued to the Sheriff and not
accounted for shall be deducted before any
claim shall be allowed to a Sheriff. No
county shall be liable to the Auditor, other
than for his official salary, for any fees or
for any services required of him under this
Act.
The construction placed upon this
amendment is that all persons requiring
licenses shall apply to the Sheriff for the
same, giving in the application descrip.
tion of the room or building in which the
business is to be carried on for which the
l;ooosa &c ;cS.,ed
